25
what is the function of the inguinal ligament?
Retaining band for deep structures of lower limb
26
Torsional movements come from contralateral internal and external obliques working together. The internal obliques end in an _____ _____ that forms part of the rectus sheath
anterior aponeurosis forms part of the rectus sheath
27
Transversus abdominis function?
increases ab pressure- anterior aponeurosis forms part of the rectus sheath - arches over inguinal ligament and contributes to the area of weakness
28
Rectus abdominis attaches to xiphoid process and ribs 5,6,7 tapers inferior and separated by the ___ ___ and packs are created by ___ ____.
Linea alba | Tendinous intersections
29
What are the surgical landmark for cut on median plane?
Pyramidalis - tenses linea alba
30
What is the strong fibrous covering enclosing the rectus abdominis which is formed by aponeurosis of all 3 flat abdominal muscles?
Rectus sheath (anterior and posterior portions)
31
What sheath does NOT extend all the way down to the pubic crest? What happens 3/4 of the way toward pubic crest?
Posterior rectus sheath | Passes anterior and fuses with anterior rectus sheath causing the ARCUATE LINE
32
What is the Arcuate line?
Posterior rectus sheath passing anterior and fusing with the anterior rectus sheath
33
what is the wall inferior to the Arcuate line prone to herniation?
b/c this part is only reinforced by the transversalis fascia
34
Edge of the rectus abdominis and the inguinal ligament is the area of weakness where herniation of abdominal wall occurs is called ?
Inguinal (Hesselbach's) triangle
35
What passes through the inguinal triangle (hesselbach's triangle)
Inferior epigastric artery and vein
36
Innervation of the anterolateral abdominal wall is mainly by these four nerves:
1. thoraco-abdominal nn (continuation of T7-T11 intercostal nn.) 2. Subcostal nn (anterior ramus of T12) 3. Iliohypogastric nn (terminal branches of L1 Anterior ramus) 4. Ilioinguinal nn (terminal branches of L1 anterior ramus)
37
Continuation of intercostal nerves of T7-T11 are called?
Thoracoabdominal nerves
38
Terminal branches of L1 anterior ramus makes what two nerves?
Iliohypogastric nn | ilioinguinal nn
39
What nerve pierces the Lateral ab wall and enters the lateral superficial fascia?
Lateral Cutaneous branches of the t10 abdominal nerve
40
What nerves pierce the rectus abdominis (anterior) and enter anterior superficial fascia?
Anterior cutaneous branches of the t10 abdominal nerve
41
what incision is used for appendectomy?
Gridiron incision (right iliac crest area in direction of groin to pubic) transverse abdominal incision would be same spot just opposite direction
42
three incisions of the abdominal wall
Median incision Left paramedian incision Subcostal incision
43
what innervates cutaneous nerves over rectus abdominis? and lateral abdominal wall?
T7-T10 thoracoabdominal nerve & subcostal nerve
44
What superficial cutaneous nerves innervates the DIP's area?
Iliohypogastric nerve L1
45
What superficial cutaneous nerves innervate the groin area?
Ilioinguinal nerve L1
46
What supplies blood to the lateral region of the abdominal wall?
10th & 11th posterior intercostal & Subcostal arteries
47
What supplies the superficial pubic & umbilical regions with blood? what is it a branch from?
Superficial epigastric artery (branch from femoral artery)
48
What supplies medial part of anterolateral wall with blood? What is it a branch from?
Inferior epigastric (branch of external iliac artery)
49
Inferior epigastric can anastomose with ?
superior epigastric that branches off internal thoracic don't mix up superficial epigastric and superior epigastric!
50
External iliac artery branches into?
inferior epigastric artery
51
where does superficial epigastric artery come from?
branch of femoral artery
52
Venous drainage of anterolateral abdominal wall
Most drain directly into tributaries of SVC and IVC | Some drain into liver (mixes w/ gut blood) hepatic portal vein
53
What happens if there is a blockage in the portal system?
diverts Gut blood into caval system which dilates to accommodate flow
54
What drains deep wall superior to the transumbilical plane?
Superior epigastric vein>internal thoracic>SVC
55
What drains deep lateral wall superior to transumbilical plane?
Subcostal 10th & 11th posterior intercostal veins | into azygous system>SVC
56
What drains deep wall inferior to transumbilical plane?
Inferior epigastric vein> | into external iliac vein>IVC
57
Cavo-Caval anastomosis is the
communication of blood between deep and superficial veins
58
What two veins drain the wall superior to transumbilical plane? where do they drain?
1. Thoraco-epigastric vein 2. Lateral Thoracic vein - drain into AXILLARY Vein then into SVC
59
What drains superficial wall inferior to transumbilical plane?
Superficial epigastric vein into femoral vein into IVC
60
What vein can drain into the porta-caval (porto-systemic) anastomosis? from abdominal wall to liver via this system?
Paraumbilical veins
61
Obstruction of hepatic portal v due to cirrhosis or liver fibrosis makes gut blood divert into paraumbilical veins. Where does the blood drain?
Portal-caval anastomosis between paraumbilical and caval veins (thoraco-epigastric) passes portal blood to IVC and SVC
62
What is the classic clinical sign of obstructed hepatic portal system? what veins distended?
Caput Medusa- | Paraumbilical ,lateral thoracic, thoraco-epigastric
63
superficial Lymph drainage- superior and inferior to umbilicus?
sup- drains to axillary nodes | inf- drain to inguinal nodes
64
deep lymph drainage -
iliac and lumbar nodes
